Roles Classification
Chemical Role(s): antioxidant
A substance that opposes oxidation or inhibits reactions brought about by dioxygen or peroxides.
Biological Role(s): antiviral drug
A substance used in the prophylaxis or therapy of virus diseases.
human metabolite
Any mammalian metabolite produced during a metabolic reaction in humans (Homo sapiens).
Application(s): antidote to paracetamol poisoning
A role borne by a molecule that acts to counteract or neutralize the deleterious effects of paracetamol (acetaminophen).
antiinfective agent
A substance used in the prophylaxis or therapy of infectious diseases.
antiviral drug
A substance used in the prophylaxis or therapy of virus diseases.
mucolytic
A compound that alters the structure of mucus so as to decrease its viscosity and thereby facilitate its removal by ciliary action and expectoration. Compare with antitussives, which suppress the cough reflex, and expectorants, which are considered to increase the volume of secretions in the respiratory tract, so facilitating their removal by ciliary action and coughing.
vulnerary
A drug used in treating and healing of wounds.
